Dundalk Stadium Winter Series Awards Day Handicap

C&D maiden winner in 2023; added two 5f turf wins in 2024; very encouraging third back from a break over C&D in February under this rider; didn't look the easiest mount for a 10lb claimer last time when hanging; he's 11lb lower than his last winning mark and Coen back aboard is a plus.

Turf winner added an AW win when successful over C&D in November off 59; no impression from revised mark next time (5f) but beaten just a short head under this rider last time (5f), with Bold Optimist a neck behind in third; raised 3lb for that but good chance with a repeat.

Some promise as a 2yo; returned from 530-day absence in a C&D maiden in January when well beaten; improved on handicap debut last time, but still finished ninth of 11; her mark looks high at the moment, but the rider's claim helps.

Has shown a tendency to find one too good in runs here; beaten a nose off this mark in December; well backed favourite next two times in maidens when a runner-up; 4.5l behind in third in a C&D m'den in January; below his best on turf latest.

12-85 including nine course wins (three over C&D); mark has dropped significantly since his last win in 2025, but he has shown generally poor form recently.
